Reserve Posse

Leon County Sheriff’s Reserve And Support Posse Unit

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office is currently accepting applications for Reserve and Support Posse members. If you are interested in becoming part of a dynamic team serving with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, please read more about our Reserve and Support Posse program, how it works and what is required.

Our goal is to help The Citizens of Leon County by augmenting the duties and responsibilities of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.

Leon County Sheriff’s Reserve Posse Program

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Posse is comprised of community members who volunteer their time to fulfill many of the roles handled by full time Deputies. Reserve Posse members also receive the same training, equipment and uniforms as full time Deputies and work alongside them in every aspect of Office and field operations. The Reserve Posse program is also designed to ensure your success through training that will enable you to become a valuable resource in assisting the full time Deputies working the streets and roads of Leon County. Members of this dynamic team may have an avenue to complete the Sheriff’s Office FTO program to become a full time deputy for those who desire to pursue a career in law enforcement. By completing the FTO Program, but not wanting to work as a full time deputy, you can be appointed by the Sheriff of Leon County as a part time deputy with the same responsibilities as a full time Deputy.

All Reserve Posse members are required to complete a minimum of 16 hours of service each month. They also must attend monthly meetings and complete all yearly training as required by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office and any training requirements established by the Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission.
